Altec Lansing Introduces a Cinematic Experience for the iPod

May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Altec Lansing today announced the availability of the inMotion iMV712, an elegantly compact, all-inclusive iPod Video entertainment system that provides powerful, crystal-clear sound and sharp video in one.

The iMV712 turns the iPod Video into a complete MP3 music + video multi-component entertainment system -- perfectly designed for college dorm rooms, teen rooms, desktops, even the kitchen counter.

At the heart of the new iMV712 is an 8.5-inch high resolution LCD screen surrounded by Altec Lansing's custom-engineered speakers to deliver powerful, concert-like sound and a true cinematic video experience. A built-in four-inch subwoofer provides street-rumbling lows and is perfectly balanced with two three-inch speaker drivers for crisp, clear mids and highs. The result is immersive, high-quality audio, which is heightened by Altec Lansing SFX (Stereo Field Expander). This technology boosts the sound field and gives the user an immersive stereo effect so that the speakers sound further apart than they really are.

"As the popularity of Internet-based video and digital music skyrockets, consumers want new iPod accessory products that amplify the entire entertainment experience," said Robert Heiblim, Altec Lansing's senior vice president of Sales and Marketing. "The iMV712 redefines the concept of an iPod speaker system, delivering consumers a stylish, compact one-two punch of high-fidelity stereo sound plus video display -- an ideal digital shelf system for any area of the home or office."

The built-in Apple universal dock securely fits and conveniently charges the iPod. A wireless remote gives easy control over both the speaker and the iPod. Or, listen to other MP3/4 players via the Aux input jack. RCA input connections allow video play from other sources such as a camcorder or VCR.

Features and benefits:

• High Quality Audio -- three-inch Neodymium speakers and built-in four-inch subwoofer.
